2019 Planner 101.

Apparently I took a year hiatus from my blog and I completely apologize, it wasn't intentional.

I'm not even going to try to update you all on what I've been doing the last year- half, because it would take too long and half, it wasn't that exciting.

I'm hoping that 2019 takes a turn for me - not that my life is horrible but a fresh start wouldn't be the worst idea ever.

For 2019 - I am going to try - as always to start a planner. I have tried a few times- with different brands but for some reason, it always falls to the wayside  But I've dare I say- been researching? stalking? on YouTube and various ways of media other people's planners. Showing different methods to their madness and I think- I think- I may have a better grasp on it than I have in a while and a few more things in my life I really would like to get a grasp on via planning.

I have been in the loop of Happy Planners for quite some time- I bought my first one back in 2015 I believe when they were first big on the market. Their sticker books so cute and tiny. I was doing pretty good at the planner actually but that's when my "major" break up crisis happened. I definitely let go of the planner in the mix of that junk.  Plus- lets be honest- I didn't have much to plan anymore.

I again tried with the planner a few more times here and there as well as with other brands. I'm always infatuated with the idea of planning. My high school and college planners were filled with all sorts of craziness and I was obsessed with them. How the hell can I get that girl back?? Anyways so as you can tell- I've always kind of let it go.

So here we are- round 5321789 of planner attempts.

If you are familiar with the Happy Planner lines or collections, I will be using the Super Mom mini this year. Which apparently has the new dashboard layout- I love this and so glad I came back when they introduced this great concept.

The monthly spread and dashboard resemble what is already pretty tradition for the Happy Planner line. The dashboard has spots which I changed to fit what I needed- a To Do List, Birthdays, Important Dates and a box I'm going to be putting the total miles I ran as well as my beginning weight and ending weight for the month.



With the weekly spread, they have a dashboard concept (which hence the name as well as the new inclusion).  I changed up the categories again to fit more of what I want to keep track of.  I made a To Do list , a To Buy list, Habit Tracker, Bills, and a Prayer list spot.



In the daily boxes, I am going to be tracking what I eat, my hours, and if a major event takes place that day.  At the beginning of all the daily boxes is a box they placed for people meal planning, I'm writing down my work out for each day.

Hoping this will turn out to be a great year with my little planner. I intend the carry it in my purse so it'll be with me at most times. I'm thinking this way it'll be utilized if its always on hand, fingers crossed.

That's so much crazy information I know, I babbled. But I'm not a YouTube girl at all so hopefully you will bare with me and my endless entries.

Join me again, Ill show you more about my planner and my goals! - Yes, I wasn't done!
